Re: Substitute "LiveCode" for "Scratch"

We see LiveCode as the natural step up from Scratch. It is perfect for ages 13 to 18, just when kids start to outgrow Scratch. Which isn't to say that LC can't one day be dumbed down for the younger age group, but right now that is its sweet spot. I don't suppose anyone wants to go add a comment t

Re: Substitute "LiveCode" for "Scratch"

compatability of rev stacks and livecode stacks in a standalone?

I have an app which is a splash screen that contains all of the real program stacks compressed as custom properties. When the standalone is launched the first time, it creates a folder, open decompressed those stacks and saves them into that folder. From that point on, launching the standalone o

Re: compatability of rev stacks and livecode stacks in a standalone?

You can save the stacks in legacy format at which point your 2.8 stack should be able to open them. You won't get the benefits of the newer stuff using a 2.8 engine of course, but if this is ok with you then the legacy format should solve it. I think the stack format change happened around 5.5.1 I

Re: compatability of rev stacks and livecode stacks in a standalone?

Just realized you rebuilt the part with the engine with 5.5.2 (yes mike, reading is a good first step) you might check in your LC preferences and see if the checkbox for "preserve stack file versions for stacks saved in legacy format" is not checked. If it is, go in and manually "save as" to chan
